The law relating radiated energy to temperature, proved theoretically by Boltzmann, is named after:
AStefan and Boyle
BStefan and Bernoulli
CStefan and Brewster
DStefan and Boltzmann
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Stefan and Boltzmann
1. The relation was first found experimentally.
2. It was later given a theoretical basis.
3. Obtained experimentally by Stefan and proved theoretically by Boltzmann, it is the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
4. The constant sigma is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.
